Players of the new NFS video game “Rivals” will get the chance to take the 2015 Ford Mustang on a virtual drive before the car hits the showrooms worldwide next year. The real 2015 Ford Mustang features innovative technologies, high performance, and a stylized exterior and interior.

The in-game action features players as either a cop or racer. Gaining the upper hand by any means necessary is the “name of the game.” Playing NFS’ classic story – being on either side of the law - creates a dynamic, unmatched story in any other racing franchise. With two different career experiences, the game lasts longer than previous versions. High-stakes challenges, rewards, pursuit technology, and a variety of cars make the game as successful as its predecessors.
